a lunatic. He REALLY was bashing dems yesterday I turned it off.

He doesn't acknowledge how hard it is to deprogram a cult member.

he and Mika partied with the depraved sociopath...they knew what he was but because they despised Hillary, they cleaned him up and sold him as a viable candidate, convinced their guy would throw off his malignant narcissism and become "presidential"...but once they had the temerity to disagree with the orange bully boy, he turned on them with a vengeance...and that's when Joe rebranded himself as a Never Trumper....to paraphrase Trump..."Joe is what he is"...

Of course you have to go by district sometimes, but the left has good ideas that should resonate.

outside progressive districts. Maybe a ground game to explain to voters in non-progressive districts just what those ideas can do for them.

TV show host needs audience for morning ratings to keep on the air. The guy is paid to be an entertainer. His ratings have been dependent on his on (air) again off again support of friend Trump. He will need a new angle to hold viewership once Biden is in office. Self preservation.

Plenty still refer to Biden as Joe, though. On "our" side it is far from being disrespectful. Looking forward to calling him President tho 😀

They understood that they did not want to have to go down rabbit holes for 4 years. I think it was a calculated decision.

... a very long while.

For my part, I'll be referring to Joe Scarborough as "Morning Joe" or Joe S. ... anything for clarity and to avoid writing subject lines that appear to be smearing Joe Biden.
